If you block a chat in WhatsApp, what will the other person see - briefly?
If you block a chat in WhatsApp, the other person will no longer be able to send messages or calls to your number, and they will not receive any notifications about your actions. They may still see your profile picture and status updates until they manually remove your contact from their device.
If you block a chat in WhatsApp, what will the other person see - in detail?
When you block a chat in WhatsApp, the experience for the other person can be quite distinct from your own. Here's a detailed breakdown of what they might see and not see:
Firstly, the blocked user will still be able to send messages to you, but these messages won't be delivered. Instead, they will appear as sent on their end but will never show up in your chat list or notifications. This means that you won't receive any alerts for new messages from this contact.
Secondly, the blocked user may notice that your profile picture and status updates are no longer visible to them. They can still see your last seen timestamp if it was set before you blocked them, but they won't be able to see when you were last online after the block was initiated.
Additionally, calls from this person will not come through. Any attempt at a voice or video call will fail and won’t ring on your device. Similarly, if you try to make a call to them, it will not go through.
It's important to note that while blocking hides your online status and prevents messages and calls from being received, the other person might still be able to see group chats you are part of together. However, they won't be able to add you to new groups or remove you from existing ones.
Lastly, if you unblock the user at any point, all previously blocked messages will not appear in your chat history. It’s as if those messages never existed on your end.
